Biography

West Coast death metal outfit Abysmal Dawn formed in 2003 around the talents of guitarist/vocalist Charles Elliott, guitarist Jamie Boulanger, bassist Carlos Arriola, and drummer Terry Barajas. The Los Angeles-based quartet's unique blend of thrash, grindcore, and black metal was first heard on a 2004 demo that circulated throughout the metal community to much fanfare. The band's full-length debut, From Ashes, arrived in 2005, followed by the Relapse-released Programmed to Consume in 2008. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide

Band History

After his departure from long running local blackened/death act Rise, Charles Elliott (vocals/guitar) and former Inhuman Visions bandmate Jamie Boulanger (guitar) formed Abysmal Dawn in 2003. With drummer Terry Barajas, the trio released their first three-song demo in October 2004. It garnered the band critical praise within the underground metal press circuit, as well as earning them some high-profile gigs in 2005.

In November 2005, the band entered Shiva Industries in Santa Ana to start work on their debut release, From Ashes. For the recording, the band enlisted the help of longtime friend and live bassist, Mike Bear (Ex-Prototype, Artisan).
